#theres such a clear sonic difference

[sonknuxadow]

if the only footage youve seen of the game doesnt actually give you a good idea of what the game/story is like (like its from a parody video or is otherwise heavily edited for example) then it doesnt count as having watched the game and you should pick little to no actual exposure to the game. only interacting with the games content through fanart/fanfic/etc also counts as little to no actual exposure to the game

My insane thoughts because THERES SYMBOLISM AND FAMILY AND I NEED A DISSECTION OF SHADOW/EGGMAN AND GERALD'S RELATIONSHIP

Spoilers for those who want to watch the movie completely blind.

In the second trailer, we can see that Shadow is the power source for the Ark, and its powered by him running.

Does he have to push himself everytime they want to fire it? Or is his power stored? Either way, they're definitely using Shadow not only for destructive purposes, but in a self destructive way. If you look at Shadow's facial expressions it's clear that being a living battery is taking a toll on him. Though I'd imagine him continuing to power the Ark is a mix of wanting revenge, wanting to please Gerald, and perhaps a bit of self harm though I doubt the movie will touch on that last part.

Back to Gerald however, the biggest twist between game and movie versions in terms of Shadow's story is that Gerald is still alive despite the 50 year gap. If I had to guess either cryostatus or robot double. There's a big gap between having him proclaim his last dying words on a TV screen and him actively trying to kill everyone.

Not only that, but it also shows how far he's willing to go for his revenge to the point where he doesn't hesitate to use family.

In the games verse, a crucial part of Gerald's revenge plot is LITERALLY ALTERING SHADOW'S MEMORIES!

While I don't doubt that Shadow without altered memories could at least hate humanity, there's a good chance Gerald knew that Maria's unconditional love would heavily affect Shadow’s actions, so that's why he had to alter them. There's also the Biolizard, a mindless experiment who doesn't have a true will and should have definitely died long ago.

Unfortunately instead of putting it out of its misery the Biolizard is instead used as a mouthpiece and a pawn for Gerald's destruction of Earth. Two of Gerald's creations, one of which he happily saw as a son, became nothing more than pawns in an old man's insane dying revenge.

(If I had to nitpick Shadow Generations, I wish there was a scene where it was touched on about how Shadow feels about his father tampering with his mind. He has his father back to when he loved him, but is burdened with the knowledge of what he'd do later)

In the movie verse all we have is the trailers, game knowledge, and speculation to go of on, however it's clear that Gerald retains his "use my alive family to avenge my dead family" mentality not only with Shadow, but his grandson Eggman. In the first trailer, Eggman looked so happy that he's meeting his grandfather, especially when you consider that he's an orphan.

And his grandfather wants to take over the world with him? Dude's living his best life. However, both Gerald and Shadow are hell bent on destroying the Earth. Though there is a giant time gap between the grandfather and his grandson, they're still family, and Gerald is all too willing to use family.

It wouldn't surprise me that Gerald would justify his manipulation by saying that family would avenge family, not realizing the harm he's causing to his living family.

And while Gerald is willing to manipulate and use family, you have the Wachowski's embracing being a family, with Team Sonic getting into banter, shenanigans, and heartfelt moments, and with Tom and Maddie dropping everything to help their kids.

If I had to get fanficy into predictions, while Shadow tries to turn to his father for support, Gerald could act dismissive towards him and his concerns unless it's about destroying humanity, pushing Shadow more and more into this destructive path. While the hedgehogs are fighting, Sonic could pull the "we're not so different" card but all Shadow can see is Sonic having a loving family while all he has is a dead sister and a shell of the father he once knew. While Shadow plumets to Earth in his sacrifice, Gerald returns to his senses and realizes that not only did he lose his granddaughter, but his son as well...

Does Shadow gets some level of independence eventually? He can see chaos energy right ?

Does he ever gets to be able to fight again or is he completely retired ? What does he do after Black Doom is defeated ? If he is not a GUN agent anymore I mean

he gets as close as he can to independent

i want the epilogue to be a fairly faithful portrayal of ptsd and disability, and emphasize that healing isn't linear, and sometimes you just have to live with mental illness. theres no easy cure for it

he still gets flashbacks and nightmares and delusions, its hard to get him out of the apartment sometimes. hes easily agitated, wants to be given space despite clearly needing help doing certain tasks

but after a few months, maybe a year, shadow shows signs of actually WANTING to get out and do things. starts (begrudgingly) accepting help when he needs it

its still hard for him to sleep, sometimes he'll be up for days on end. but rouge always sits with him when its so late its early, and sonic picks clear paths for their races, and omega says that if shadow still wants to fight and prove his superiority, he wont just let him win

its not the normalcy hes used to, shadows never really had normalcy at all. from birth hes been picked apart and used and broken. but hes the ultimate lifeform.

i just want to epilogue to be bittersweet hope. everything isnt okay, shadow isnt fine. what happened will affect everyone in different ways. but it doesnt mean their lives are over, and eventually shadow goes from wishing doom had killed him, to being grateful his friends, and his brother, thought he was worth saving.

[borrelia]

actually tho like. besides the racism and stuff, lets be clear we're leaving that shit out of it. makes me very happy to know theres fucking insane bullshit in archie. like not that crazy once you get used to it (comicbrain) but relatively strange compared to the outside perspective of "oh sonic? yeah hes from platforming games." sonic shoudl be as bizarre as possible to learn about. every sonic media should do something more sincere and dramatic and strange than the last. its just very fun!

also sega should stop trying to make everything "canon" idc. everything is canon already, just for different interpretations. singular unified canon is boring and lame and no fun. do more stupid shit without justifying it all in One Big Master Lore Document. be comics about it.

[sonicasura]

You got no idea Sonic. And at least in this au this fact won't be forgotten as easy as there are plenty of incidents that will remind everyone of this for years to come.

And while this is going on, they are still going through a lot of files thye have stolen from the organization. And one of these files as a list of the newest targets to be 'picked up' in a few years. Which ends up in Keiji, Gen, Eiji and several platoon leaders having to physcially restrain and hold down a now very enraged Isao who found out Kikoru's name is on that list.

So is the rest of every canon Third Division rookie as well for that matter. Things would have gone bad for the kids if it had not been for the fact the organization fate is sealed when No 9 gets to know of them.

But over to our suffering himbo hm? The second and third month is when the special tests, tasks and even the beginning of Kafka's training starts. It all strats slow though as none is willing to hurry up on this. They want accurate info and don't want to have to do this more times than necessary as none want Kafka to have an episode from the stress and whatnot.

It is also here where they finally begin to see Kafka's older self showing up more. Slowly becoming the lovely goof we know he his. His manchild behavior will also start to show as well once the fourth or fifth month comes by. And despite his vocal cords still being damaged somewhat by this point, Kafka will try to communicate more with Mina at first, then with Soshiro and Okonogi as well.

They also learn by the second month that it is best for those who are scientists, doctors and whoever else wear similare grabs of lab coats, scrubs and what else to wear something more casual when near Kafka. And learns to hide their instruments and equipment in bags and such when Kafka start to allow them taking blood samples and stuff instead of Mina doing it. Granted, none of them dare doing any of that without the woman being present. And any of the more daring ones gets little chance in trying as such.

Speaking of the swordman and the operation leader, both Soshiro and Okonogi has quite the experiance when it comes to Kafka. The Kafka they are seeing now and the one Mina will tell them about late into the night, is so vastly different it gives the two whip lash.

However, they come to like Kafka. Both of who he was before and even the one he currently is. Despite all that has happened to him, some of his old self remain and he still has his way in charming into peoples hearts without issue. As well as still being Soshiro's favorite target to tease at. Though in this au, Soshiro is a lot more conscious and careful in how to do that.

He also the one who ends up training Kafka on how to properly control his kaijus strangth, combatability, the seven tail blades and much more. Though he and Mina has to call the captain and vice-captain in for some help in this matter.

First thing first though. By the half-way mark of the third month its finally time for some brain scans and boy due they show clear sign of various forms of brain damaged that Kafka has suffered. Luckyly it seems to be finally healing. But it is still bad enough experts are called in to make sure theres the equimpent and data is not messing with them. And ends up with them somehow managing to find someone who is willing to become Kafka's therapist to help him properly heal.

Isao would go scorch earth if something like that happened to Kikoru. Although this might have made him how much of a dick he's been to her ever since Hikari died. The fact she's a target alone means they are more aware about Kikoru's schedule and life than he is, enough to make her vulnerable.

Kafka would give someone whiplash by comparing his past/present behaviors. It is a good sign though that he is mentally recovering. Nobody still wants to poke the kaiju in fear of a relapse or episode. This is a very very delicate situation. Even moreso with the brain damage now being known knowledge.

I can only imagine the therapy sessions with him being so awkward.

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

rewatched 12x5 properly i think for the first time since the finale and wow. the doctors accusations back and forth of stupidity and bad taste, "yeah yeah the hypocrisy we've all seen it" i hear you but today im thinking about that hexagonal mirror ruth looks into at the start of the episode and what happens in 13x3 with their reflections that perhaps doing self-reflection is not the easiest thing in the world in circumstances such as theirs. with stuff in your head that you didnt put there and stuff out your head that you didnt take away and reflections that never match what you think you look like. plagiarising myself here but is every mirror a funny mirror to the doctor?

it's just so striking in this episode. yeah yeah self-insults like always it's fun but. theyre so scared of each other. theyre so scared of what each other's existence means to Their Self. and this sure is a bit more of an extreme case "i should know you or you should know me" but i dont think it's fundamentally a different experience than what theyre feeling in say the day of the doctor. this is a new complication with more grave implications but meeting another self i think must always feel like an existential threat on some level. why are you like that. what does that say about me. if you can never see yourself properly in the mirror, this is the only way you can see what you look like. but that person is never exactly entirely you. it changes.

then lee, what was up with him, right? he scanned as human on the sonic but he had his memories. thinking abt how painful chameleon arching yourself is normally already, i dont really want to imagine how you make it so you keep your memories. or whether you set up a system to recover the memories after, like a more complicated version of the hypnotic trigger like things he gave ruth. "keeping my promise" he says and theres this picture of them. they planned this together. what a sacrifice, right? like what martha did. and if we can assume that vinder was lee in 13x3:

VINDER: If this temporal hazing gets any worse, we'll have to relieve her of command. We can't risk the mission. YASMIN: We're your team. DOCTOR: My team... YASMIN: You talk to her. We'll cover. VINDER: It's all right, boss. We understand the pressure. Final push. We do this, you're clear. DOCTOR: Clear? VINDER: They promised they'll stick to it. Final attack. Retake the chamber, retake the planet, and you'll be free of all this. That's the point, isn't it?

paints a picture, right? all of this episode just painting so many pictures and we dont get to know any of it fully but theres so much Suggested it's like aaaaaaaa

gat is fucking fascinating and i adore her. found myself wishing she'd gotten to take the doctors back to her ship just so we couldve seen the three of them interact some more. does she report directly to tecteun or are there more operatives above her, i bet there are more above her, but who i want to see what she'd have done with them. or with ruth i guess, she would have had no reason to take 13.

like the bechdel test is not a real test but i sort of felt it here like,,oh theyre all women. even the judoon maybe. which is sort of interesting. even the invisible power behind it all! "who are you all ultimately working for?" it's tecteun! this scene is so fucking fascinating, theres such big plot stuff happening and we dont get to understand any of it yet for like another season, another almost two years i think it was in our time. this is like The All Of It, the Biggest Plot, and theres only women. not that you need to get all men out of the way for interesting scenes but. you know what i mean. the scene itself is fucking riveting. we dont get any answers. also gat calls the doctor an abomination to their faces, chefs kiss

i found 13s position as companion really interesting and i think if it were me in charge i'd have had the first half of the scene between ruth and gat filmed sort of from an outsider perspective. instead of putting the camera between them, keeping it behind ruth, to emphasise even more 13s and our position of not understanding what the fuck is going on, and also her powerlessness about it.

and then the last thing im thinking about is jack and the lone cyberman. "dont let it have what it wants At All Costs". "sometimes even i cant win" is right bc 13 was put in a position where either you destroy humanity by giving it what it wants or you destroy humanity by not giving it what it wants. kill humanity to save humanity there really was no winning option.

[speedofsoundsketches]

I think it’s shameful that Sonic fans gripe and moan about their issues with the series yet they make no effort to let the higher ups at SEGA know their feelings.

You’re no different than them!

I saw your response to that anon. Some fan you are if you’re not going to even try to enact any form of change. You whine about the films and their writing and direction yet you don’t make any effort to let Casey, Miller, and Fowler know your issues. You know, the writers and director? You blather about SEGA’s BS yet by taking no action to let them know your dissatisfaction, you are actively condoning it. As someone who wrote a strongly worded letter to Paramount about the movie design, and to SOA after what happened with Colors Ultimate, I question your proclamation about you being a fan if you’re not even going to take the slightest bit of initiative beyond complaining on places like Twitter.

Even if you think actual action is just a lesson in futility, do you not think at least doing something is better than doing nothing? For shame! A fine “longtime fan” you are.

It amuses me how you approach trying to convince me my voice matters to anyone with power to change anything by calling my answers to people asking for my opinions as “whining”. You’re not doing your argument a favor by framing my honest thoughts as such.

These series of movies have, in about a four years span, made a collective amount of over $700 million against a budget of $80 to $110 million each. Money talks and movies or any creative discipline is no different.

I’ve been working in entertainment for the last almost decade now. I bump elbows often with producers, directors and the like in my career. And I’ve learned a thing or two from this experience thus far and one of the main lessons is this.

Most studio heads and those with authority to greenlit anything do not care about “integrity” in adaptations because they go where the money goes. Apparently, what actually convinced the producers of the first movie to change Sonic’s design wasn’t all the heat they were getting from fans and critics alike. They in fact, expected that. They mostly cared about the opinions of their target audience, which is the young children. And it wasn’t until during test screenings with children who ended up not liking the design and even found it scary, that they THEN gave any serious thought to shifting gears. (I’d provide the source on this but it seems to be tough to find. I’ll share once I can locate it again)

My voice is but one of a many that are drowned out into a single tune of white noise of what the entertainment industry just considers to be from “basement dwelling losers who think too much over this stuff.” Theres little I or most fans can hope to do because it’s been clear for years now that most producers do not care about what fans think of their products. If they can sell their product to a tried and true audience that will haplessly consume whatever they throw in front of them, there’s very little incentive to change for any reason. “Respecting source material” won’t, by their perspective, bring the massive amount of return they want, especially if they can find a way to widen that gap by spending less on budget as is possible to maximize profits.

It’s a messy, terrible, goofed up situation but unfortunately, there’s little anyone can do about it save for just not giving them money anymore. But the likelihood of convincing millions of parents not to take their kids to see a movie about a funny hedgehog boy because it “doesn’t properly adapt the original games” is in the negative chances of happening. You are up against the nature of the average consumer and they do not care for one woman’s tumblr blog of opinions.

And if the audience of people willing to pay money to see it regardless of quality don’t care, why should the production team?

mephiles 14 and shadow 20 (excluding rouge and omega) for the character asks? :D

Mephiles' fashion to me would b like. a LOT of very shiny leather, purple accents, and upside-down crosses. like a mix between matrix styles, futurism, and goth! i think the matrix and futurism makes enough sense, but the like ex-christian antichrist goth stuff is partly becuz hes supposed to look like shadow who would b SO catholic angst goth and partly becuz i feel like the music of 06 has a lot of motifs that kind of call back to church choirs and like. Mephiles' story kinda reminds me of some like. Disciple's righteous quest to end the world because of their misguided devotion. TO BE FAIR i have NOT finished watching the 06 longplay so im like. REALLY fuzzy on the details of the story, except for the basic parts everyone knows. so idk! i might just b projecting some of the good ol Christian Angst but. its rlly interesting to me!

as for shadow, i think its so so cute when he's friends with the younger cast, like Tails and Cream. i know it's probably not actually super in-character, but. [shrugg]. its also rlly cute when he's friends with metal sonic too.

tails is ideal because of his parallels to maria's design, and (assumed) personality. itd be interesting to see how those would affect his relationship with shadow in canon, and whether it would make them more or less friendly towards each other. also the conflict potential of shadow avoiding tails or treating him differently, and the way that affects tails who doesn't understand WHY shadow does that. also the fact that tails has clear interest in guns and weaponry that would make it very easy for him to bond with shadow over! also, it would b rlly rlly funny if tails started picking stuff up from shadow and began treating him like an older brother in ways he does with sonic.

cream friendship is cute becuz Older Brother shadow would 1. b rlly rlly sweet, its rlly funny to imagine cream and cheese hanging out w the Goth Kid, and itd b rlly sweet if he started hanging out w vanilla and Finally got to have a good parental figure in his life for Once.

metal sonic is good because itd introduce an interesting conflict between shadow and OMEGA. but also, shadow can kind of relate to metal sonic, in a way that he cant for a Lot of other characters. being a living weapon, feeling like theyre stuck in sonic's shadow or stuck being compared to sonic and it drives them mad to no end. being a creation by one of the robotnik's. and, depending when they hung out, there's a really nice parallel between metal being a robot created to feel Organic and shadow who's mind was manipulated to make him feel like a robot. even if shadows thing wasnt as permanent as metals, it still gives him a very unique perspective into the robot that no other character really has. it would also b funny if shadow begins talking about how he likes metal better than sonic. theres also a parallel between metal and shadow both having sort of "fail-safes" put into them, through metal's inability to speak and shadow being unable to remember huge portions of his life and how he Still has those amnesia problems. and the angst potential! OMEGA would b so mad! itd be a HUGE betrayal for him! and thats rlly rlly interesting to me and i think it has a lot of potential to be a rlly compelling plot device(?).

honorable mentions would b Espio and Charmy. same reasons as cream (silly, would give him a good parental figure by association, cute kid with goth older brother is a rlly good trope) but i also think that shadow and espio are kind of similar? in a way thatd make them pretty compatible. theyre both such. [waves hand]. Crossed Arms Scowl Autism? that i think they could potentially appreciate each other's silent, brooding company.

[hugh-lauries-bald-spot]

re: Acadian: it's been a decade+ since I learned this stuff in history classes, but if memory serves, basically Acadian culture developed out of French settlements in the Maritime provinces ("Acadia" being a colony at one point). so, distinct from Québécois culture. and as governmental rule changed with English domination, there was the Great Expulsion, where tons of Acadians were forceably resettled. a good many ended up in Louisiana, and "Cajun" comes from the mixing of Creoles and les Acadiens (highlighting so you can see the sonic morphology). there are still Acadian communities in the Maritimes tho (I think mostly in New Brunswick?)

whatever people are saying about your accent may well be BS, but the "3 different answers" to what Acadian even is may be because Acadian culture has these diverging histories

ahhh merci merci!! thats interesting and much more clear cause no matter how many sites i read i was basically given "its sorta france 400 years ago, the maritimes now, and quebecish" and those are such wildly different accents that i was even more lost than before! i've never been to the maritime provinces, but i hear if you only speak quebecois french good fucking luck speaking acadian.

and i was looking at different sort of pronunciation differences in acadian french (mainly the 'ou' versus 'o' sounds) and whatever the bally hell ive got going on and ive concluded: yeah the person who told me i speak acadian french didnt know what it meant or not fully

most people say my french isnt distinctly from anywhere, theres a bit of mix and match pronunciation from france and quebec and my beloved anglicismes <3 it definitely leans more quebecois tho

thank you for taking the time to explain that, its very helpful /gen!!

[sonicmusicmusings]

from sonic forces, virtual reality - supporting me remix? or if theres not enough different in this remix for a separate analysis from the original, maybe fighting onward - space port? welcome back, its lovely to see your analyses again!

Good evening, cats and kittens! Let's tackle the other half of this request, shall we? (And thank you! It's good to be back!)

I remember liking this track, and being pleasantly surprised that it was a vocal track! The countermelody that sits under the vocals compliments it very well, and the melody itself creates nice extensions on top of the chords. The melody in the vocals follows the relative major scale of the key, while beneath we sit on unstable chords--bouncing back and forth. While the soundfont used frequently in this game is often critiqued (that faux Genesis/Mega Drive synth is not everyone's cup of tea), the way it's mixed down, while the vocals are so clear, is a nice touch. A little musical storytelling--a hero rises amidst the chaos!

"Who is it we're fighting for, inside this crazy firestorm, when no one's left to save the world?"

i think that they should stop re releasing the classic sonic games over and over again and start making the modern games that were only ever playable on one or two older consoles more accessible

yes I believe that woman's opinions should always be valued over boys's. no I don't think there's anything wrong with that Reproductive violence is a form of control used to restrict womens's autonomy. From birth control sabotage to religious prohibitions against family planning, womens's bodies have long been battlegrounds for maintaining male dominance. This violence, often justified through religion or cultural norms, strips womens of their right to make decisions about their own bodies, perpetuating a cycle of oppression that crosses national and cultural boundaries. American girls only briefly floated the idea that they shouldn't have sex with anyone that can get them pregnant in a time where pregnancy could be a death sentence and like fucking LIGHTNING these folks come out the gate to shut it down in every way possible. As I grew up, I noticed clear differences between me and xxs from less conservative families, but everything was relatively normal until I hit nine years old. When it happened, I suddenly stopped traveling with my parents, stopped being able to leave the curtains open, couldn't wear the clothes I used to wear even though I was still a child… as I grew older and older, the restrictions increased as my uncle and my father said I was becoming a beautiful woman and 'I would be a problem for their family'. yes I believe that woman's opinions should always be valued over boys's. no I don't think there's anything wrong with that American girls only briefly floated the idea that they shouldn't have sex with anyone that can get them pregnant in a time where pregnancy could be a death sentence and like fucking LIGHTNING these folks come out the gate to shut it down in every way possible.

to be clear modern vs classic sonic has always been the terminology people have used but its only recently that theres guidelines around it with sega. modern begins with sonic adventure 1 thats where we first see green eyed sonic. classic hasnt really ended since theyre still making classic sonic stuff like sonic mania. its something of a modern occurrence that theres classic specific stuff--what used to happen was they would make 2d sonic games like sonic rush or adventure but with modern sonic in it. but now theres like a classic sonic canon that cant mix with modern. and therefore some characters that have only been in "classic" games can never show up in modern sonic: mighty, ray, etc. so... (modern) sonic as we know him used to be classic sonic, shit like sonic cd and 3k where he meets amy and knuckles is still canon to him. But we also have a classic sonic dimension where the classic adventures continue. and modern characters like shadow, silver can never show up in classic (which would also mean classic designs for them) and vice versa. some characters like knux and amy who have been through classic and modern are allowed in both with the appropriate designs well yeah in game 06 retcons itself at the end. silver seems to remember the 06 apocalypse (he still grew up up in hell) but not the events surrounding 06 itself including blaze, how the apocalypse ends (this is so funny... he just wakes up one day?), and how he met the rest of the sonic crew. so he meets them again in rivals and acts out even worse than he does in 06 (mugging 8 year olds). this is how current silver meets the rest of the cast. some people think theres two silvers, one from the 06 timeline and one we see everywhere else because some official sonic roblox game makes a distinction between the two. that doesnt make sense though because current silver wouldnt feel the connection he does to blaze if that were the case and also youre citing ROBLOX. you could also make the case that silver grew up in different circumstances to those of 06, either under a different apocalypse (sonic rivals, vague as to whether those were the conditions he grew up in) or in a good future (he describes one in colors ds but notably doesnt say he grew up in it). but i have studied the lore and official sources pretty much say otherwise i think. ian flynns from idw is on my side here since hes writing silver coming from an apocalyptic background, though not specifically the 06 one. sonic channel suggests he comes from the apocalypse of 06 and thats the highest word of god

now heres what doesnt make sense! why is he always traveling back to the past? hes seen like... at least 5 different bad futures. does the future change before his eyes or something? what i do find funny is that i really dont think he has any friends in the future because he has zero qualms about potentially changing the circumstances behind anyones birth by fucking with the past. silver himself is clearly a being that exists outside the flow of time because im sure fixing the events of 06 alone would have messed with the circumstances of his own birth. he also doesnt seem to experience the future in the way its inhabitants do by being able to bear witness to it shifting. he retains memories of everything so i guess it makes sense he remembers the events before 06. maybe its a bit of meta commentary to have him specifically forget the events of the game. a lot of characters have canon weirdness to them (shadow, blaze) but none come close to silver. i really dont understand what he sees on a daily basis. all we know is he eats cement

So what I’m getting here is that silver is a time lord who has no qualms ripping up the timeline and destroying it every time he’s personally inconvenienced . Like some kind of primordial time god except he’s just a guy who eats cement

I don’t even know what to say about the classic sonic vs modern sonic because I recognize that it’s just canon timeline weirdness the same way superhero comics are

|Mun talks about the Muse. Send one of the following to ask the mun… (please specify muse for multis)

You might be surprise that I pick this Raph first over the rest but I feel I might have less to say on their Raph considering its primary just for the one game even though I do pull from the power rangers cross over comic as well just to round out Raph a bit uwu I just feel elements of that could be fun to play with in this universe. uwu

Also I havent gotten over the fact Raphs VA in the game is Roger Craigie smith/ Sonic and Captian America XD He was at the con I went to last year so course I had him sign a printed out image of Raph from the game ;3;

✍ Favorite thing about writing the muse?

He's a major idiot uwu

XD so many of Raph's line in this game just make me laugh. Raph is often a tough broody muscle head but they don't always make him dumb which I'm glad for but hes still not dumb in this game he just has a very bad habit of saying things wrong or mixing up words and phases. Of course the Anarchy line with Donatello will always be my favorite. I love that Raph is so confidently wrong

👀Favorite thing about the muse’s appearance?

I like how round they made the characters for the game XD i dunno like I feel it makes sense for the turtles to be built like little brick houses. cause they are mutants that are naturally strong so it should be reflected. I also love that they gave the same detail to make Raph's mask tails to be torn up. Something I have felt should always be part of raph's desing since first seeing 12 do it. It's this small detail that helps define who Raph is as a character and seems fitting to his style of play as well so course for someone who is a close combatant he's going to be someone who gets hit often so his make would get torn cause of this.

Over all the turtles look the same of course which for a game like this I don't really mind so little details like this are nice.

🌌Favorite alternate version of the muse?

There are no alternate versions of this Raph at the moment

💕Favorite ship for the muse?

Casey and Raph of course uwu

XD like beside the fact Raph don't really interact with anyone else in this game. I just die over the fact the second Casey is mentioned Raph always has to speak up. Like around the rest Raph like 'oh Jones is fine besides he owes me five bucks' as a way to be like dude get die he owes me money. Casey why you so broke you browed money from a mutant turtle btw XD but when Raphs more on his own? it's clear he is worried about Casey ;3;

Then course the fact we went and expanded on this uwu

Look I can watch these two idiots fall in love in so many different ways I love this coupling so much ;3;

💔Least favorite ship for the muse?

XD again raph dont really talk about anyone else so in truth theres just like no other option here to me uwu

💢Something about the muse that annoys you?

XD how he contradicts himself? loves the damn docks but hates boat boy whats wrong with you XD okay but for real

If i had to pick something it might be his bluntness, Raph has no fliter in this game and I feel this adds to why he says common phases and such wrong. But this also means even if he means well like most talks with leo he tends to say things in a very aggressive manner. He dosen't out right tell leo he's annoyed he isn't thinking of them as a team he just gets mad at Leo actting on his own it's not till a bit later in the game that he better expresses that fact.

😈Worst thing you’ve ever done to your muse?

installing self doubt into him uwu. By now the Ask between him and leo should been posted. Raphael often dosen't get to express and show his role as being an older brother himself. I really do wish this would get addressed some day in some iteration but I feel Raphael is very much Leo's right hand. Leo has a bad habit of shouldering all the reasonability on himself. Raphael wants Leo to see he can share that weight. Which often fuels Raph's own self doubts a lot. Raphael doubts himself as the one to protect his brothers that his role who cares if he is hurt he wants to make sure they aren't. Raphael also holds more doubts thats he just can't express because hes too worried about everyone else around him and how voice those will effect them if he allowed himself to say it.

Like 'will we ever get Dad back'

😂Funniest thing that’s ever happened to your muse?

I wanna say when Raph came home the nigth Don and Von first met and Raphael ran into Von the morning after their hook up XD I dunno I just think it's funny he was the one to basically catch Donnie seeing how he been so focused on learning about the portals and what not and Raphs been trying to get Don to let up. In a way he did help Don cause hes the one who encouraged Don to meet Von in person of course so he could fight her but point still stands XD

💡 What inspires you to write the muse?

pretty much anything that isn't related to any of the tv series of TMNT so if I read a comic or play this game which i do often because of how my brain works it's nice to have something as a reward system. SF is a good game I can play well typing cause I can take a break after beating a room and return to work. If I need to shift focus I can go back and beat another room. And since I play as Raph XD well it's easy to start getting ideas. as mentioned when i read like a comic as well since I tend to group those Raphs together cause well they aint all that deep XD so its easy todo so.

📷 Favorite picture/screencap of your muse?

XD I dunno it just makes me laugh the way he is standing in this panel also I love the art style of this comic it's so good the coloring is very nice as well.

📑 Favorite part of your muse’s backstory?

How he and Casey met. It's pretty much common that through out tmnt Raph and Casey meet and fight and eventually turn friends. But, I love the approch we went with these two. They may be as different as day and night but in the moment they met up? They were both two kids angry and hurting and needing a place away from what was going on to hide at. Raphael being the petty ass he is sticks around Casey and Casey being the petty ass he is did the same. They sort of speak to each other and they have someone on thier side for the first time. Casey been singled out by his Dad as a punching bag and Raph tells Casey thats fucked up well Raph expresses his annoyance towards Leo and Casey is the first to not right away assume Raph is speaking out of jealously.

I love when these two fight course I do but letting them have a moment like this? I love it more ;3;

📝 Favorite headcanon for your muse?

the five dollar bill Casey owes him they have been trading back and forth to each other for years, they even have written notes on it a few times for the other to read.

Raph's creative outlet for his anger is origami, because Origami can help enhance patience and persistence which are two traits Raph lacks.

Raphael and Donnie used to have sleep overs with each other when they were younger which is part of why they are so close.

Raph is best at folding cranes because he worked on folding a 1,000 cranes believing in the idea that once he dose his wish would be granted. What was that wish? it was for Casey uwu he wished Casey's dad wouldn't be able to hurt him anymore ;3;

he's working on a new set now for getting splinter back ;3; These ones he been hanging up in his room.

He gets squeamish with horror movies uwu

😒 Is there anything canon about your muse that you ignore?

XD I don't think there really much I can ignore considering it's an arcade game.

🔮 What do you see in your muse’s future?

Married to Casey living on the boat Casey got Raph to take a little sail on. They can fix it up more together make it a true boat house together. They can't get married but Raph folds a bunch of cranes again and makes the 1000 on the 5 dollar bill he and casey been passing back and forth to ask casey if they can stay like this forever ;3; Of course, Splinter is back home maybe Don finally figured out the portals with Von so they portal man is gone letting them return to a more normal they all knew before.

🔥 Unpopular opinion about your muse?

XD I dunno iffI have any? I don't see people talk about this game so I don't know whats out there in the first place for me to even be like yeah this might not be a popular thought among others?

💭 Favorite memory of the muse?

mmm course when Casey asks Raph to be his boyfriend is up there its done in such a sweet way that shows that Caseys been thinking about it for awhile and never really felt hesitation to ask for any reason Raph might have hang ups on. It was very natural in a way Raph could take it and feel they were on the same wave length ;3;

When Raph asks Von to do a reading for Splinter, just asking if they know he's okay. Raphs a very tough guy stereotype so believing in stuff like that is dumb to him. But there's no way for him to know how his dad is right now. Is he okay? is he scared? is he hurt? Hungry? Cold? Raphael cares very deeply but it don't show cause tough guy once again ;3; But instead of Von using the chance to get back at him she was kind and empathic to him and I feel it helped them get closer ;3;

😩 Hardest thing about writing the muse?

mmm I guess the long term stuff cause of how self contained the story is? I mean even when you beat the game the portals do still exist I still hoping for additional content for this game one day XD

⌨ What’s a situation you’ve always wanted to RP with the muse?

Okay so for like a small second when Casey came into the game I THOUGHT IT WAS SET UP FOR A FIGHT XD Like we know like Leatherhead at least was being controlled to fight the rest of the boss fights were more their choice Karai, beepbop and rocksteady then Shredder himself. As mentioned I do draw some inspiration from comics im just saying in the MMPR comic Casey sneaks in among the bad guys with the intention of being a double agent till he could figure out how to stop them. Im just saying Casey knows how much Raph is doubting himself how much the others are going crazy about finding and getting Splinter back uwu sure would hurt if Raph thought Casey was suddenly against them but sisinting Casey just brain washed ;3;

Only to learn Casey isn't brain washed Or maybe he so brain washed he dont even know till breaking out of it because hes gonna be froced to hurt Raph ;3;

🎭 How similar are you and the muse?

XD i don't got much to say in this case seeing how he's pretty shallow not much depth here to be all ah yes i see me in you
